Summary: What are your motives and intentions as you serve The LORD

Why are you in the vineyard of The LORD?

Beloved, why are you in ministry?

Why do you preach?

Why do you sing?

Why are you involved in the work that concerns The Kingdom of YAHWEH?

Is it because:

i. I was told by my Pastor told I have a ministry

ii. It pays the bills

iii. The company is great at least better than what i get in the world and the church spouses are known to be resilient and less dramatic.

iv. I will be known and famous who knows, like the Christian stars on TV and on the internet.

v. I will be blessed by GOD

vi. I have nothing else to do, so I’m passing time

vii. My lineage has a history of religious ministry, great grandfather, grandfather, father etc

viii. I studied theology and related subjects

ix. It’s great fun and exciting, the lights, the lifted podiums, the instruments, the music and just wait till The HOLY SPIRIT moves. Nothing like that anywhere.

x. What else will I do on Sunday?

xi. I was sent by the occult and enemies of GOD to monitor and do other things in churches

xii. I secretly hate churches and want them to fail

xiii. Christianity has been long known to be the right way

xiv. I love the Christmas and Easter seasons. Aren’t they just so amazing!

xv. The music, literature and poetry Christians generate and use is so soothing and calming. By the way have you read the book of Psalms, Proverbs? How about the Song of Solomon? Say romance on another notch! Have you read the books by Christian authors? The Bible ? There surely is something there.

xvi. You know prayer really does work whether you know what you are doing or not?

xvii. Their GOD is so merciful and kind, HE is known to answer everybody. Weird right?

xviii. This JESUS CHRIST is a really absolutely fascinating guy.

xix. I don’t know what I’m doing here. Wait a minute how did I find myself in ministry?

xx. I’m a great actor. I also attend and can fit in very well with other religions. Have you seen me doing yoga? And I must say my psychic ability is on another level?

xxi. I love the related art, the paintings, murals, carvings, vintage churches, the robes and ceremonial regalia, the processions, wow!

Beloved , why are you really in the ministry? Why are you really working in the vineyard of The LORD? The answers above are by no means exhaustive.

I don’t know why you are here. But one thing I know is that The OWNER of The Vineyard sees your heart and all the intentions. You can’t fool HIM and you cannot fool yourself.

Keep in mind that just as everything has consequences, rewards and punishments, so too do these (rewards and punishments) exist in The Kingdom of GOD.

I suggest that you have a heart to heart with The OWNER of The Vineyard and ask HIM to clarify your work and direct your path. HE is pretty easy to talk to and is known to answer even before you ask HIM. HE also is known never to fail and HE will not fail as concerns you. HE also loves you and cares deeply about you. So go ahead, ask HIM and after HE answers be sure to be faithful and do exactly as HE tells you. Do not be afraid to ask HIM questions. HE is the Personification of Faithfulness, HE will answer beyond your expectations and carry you along the way till you meet HIM face to face.

Beloved, the scripture informs us, "And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." Revelation 20:15.

Do you want to know JESUS as your personal Lord and Savior? Your eternity is at stake! JESUS has opened the door of salvation to every person. But there is coming a day when the door will be closed. Today is the day of salvation. Choose to be in the family of GOD. JESUS died so that we can spend eternity in Heaven with HIM. Don't delay! And if you want to begin a relationship with GOD or resume a broken one, say this: O GOD, I come to YOU today. I know I am a sinner. I believe that JESUS died on the cross to save me and HE resurrected on the third day. I repent of my sins and forsake them. I confess JESUS as my LORD and SAVIOR . I invite JESUS into my heart. . By this prayer, I know I am saved. Thank you JESUS for saving me and making me a child of GOD. Amen
